The rise of domestic violence rates in South Carolina has put a strain on shelters like My Sisters House in North Charleston. Despite serving nearly 50 victims in the area, the shelter is struggling to keep up with demand due to funding cuts. CEO Tosha Connors emphasizes the need for more resources dedicated to domestic violence and sexual assault cases. South Carolina ranks sixth in the nation for domestic violence cases, with a significant number of women and men experiencing partner violence. My Sisters House has had to turn people away due to lack of resources, with a decrease in funding affecting their ability to help victims.
Despite these challenges, My Sisters House continues to provide crucial services to those in need and is calling on the public for support. Businesses and individuals are encouraged to donate to help victims get back on their feet. The shelter remains committed to its mission of providing shelter and rehabilitation to domestic violence and sexual assault victims. For more information on how to help, visit Mysistershouse.org.
